(1953, 118 min.)
Under the direction of William Wyler, Audrey Hepburn bursts to stardom as the princess who goes AWOL in Rome, with American reporter Gregory Peck showing her around and photographer Eddie Albert dogging their heels.
The "Projections of Rome" film series extends the Clark’s fall focus on representations of Rome from still photography to motion pictures. First view two takes on Ancient Rome (Shakespearian and “sword & sandal”), then two romantic fantasies of Rome in the 1950s, and finally two excursions by the cinematic bard of Rome, Federico Fellini. Films are shown on Saturdays at 2:00 pm.
